Is your entry door showing its age with some creaking or just natural wear from weather and use? A new entry door isn’t only about curb appeal but the stylish and secure way your home says, "Welcome!”

Exterior Door Materials Matter

The kind of material an entry door is made of makes a huge difference regarding its strength, maintenance, and appearance.

Steel Entry Doors

When you think of strength and security, steel may be your best option. Steel entry doors, available at Fasada in Oakville, are made with outstanding durability and are built to endure hard weather conditions. They come in a wide variety of colours and finishes, so customizing your look can be coordinated to the outside of your home.

Fibreglass Entry Doors

If you're looking for an energy-efficient, low-maintenance option, fibreglass is hard to beat. Fibreglass entry doors come in a variety of prefinished colours and woodgrain finishes that never need restaining or painting. They’re perfect for today's busy homeowner, especially when energy efficiency counts.

A popular choice for a fibreglass entry door is one that has a woodgrain finish; this door combines the aesthetic appeal of natural wood with the durability and performance of fibreglass. Their classic look adds a natural warmth and character to your home mimicking the beauty of natural wood providing an elegant and timeless appearance. Fibreglass, woodgrain finished entry doors are highly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, resist warping, cracking, and rotting, and require less maintenance than traditional wooden doors.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Your New Exterior Entry Door

Energy Efficiency

When choosing an entry door, energy efficiency is a significant consideration for most homeowners. Both kinds of doors, fibreglass and steel, are designed with energy efficiency in mind and can come with insulation features that will keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. 

Steel doors are arguably the most energy-efficient door you could select. Their insulated core, made of polyurethane or polystyrene, significantly improves the door’s thermal performance helping to reduce heat transfer between the inside and outside of the home. High-quality steel doors often come with weatherstripping that seals gaps around your door preventing drafts and reducing energy loss. Many steel doors are Energy Star certified.

Personalization and Customization

Next to material, Fasada offers door collections from the industry’s best, such as Mastergrain and TruBilt, where you can customize your entry door in order to best complement your home. Consider a unique colour, decorative glass panels, or unique hardware finishes to create a front door that will pop.

Budget and Considerations

It’s important to determine how much you’re willing to spend on an exterior front door. The price will vary depending on the size of the door, the type of material used, and customized additions. With Fasada's wide array of options, you can choose one that will fit any budget without compromising quality or style.
